New Addition - Kai William Edwards

Kai William Edwards


At long last I have found a little time to update the blog on how Noah is and our little family.

Well firstly our family has expanded. Kai was born on the 20th July 2011, by a planned c-section at 37 weeks, he weighed 8lbs 1 1/2oz. He is adorable and is a real chilled out little boy. The same day, Kai was born, poor Noah came down with chicken pox, he was covered head to toe, of course what Noah has Finley also has to have and two weeks later he came down with them.

Here is a spotty Noah.

Fun at the Park

Just thought I would try and upload some of pictures of what we have been doing lately. My two boys are growing up so fast.

About time

Thought it was about time I updated Noah's blog. I have missed updating Noah's blog but nowadays I just don't find the time.

Noah started nursery about 5 weeks ago and is really enjoying himself. There have been a few teething problems with getting things put in place for him, but these are being ironed out. Hopefully by the time the kids go back after half term all of these things will be in place, like choice cards, visual timetable etc.

Noah's appointment has come through for the second stage of his BAHA operation, for the 25th November, hopefully once Noah has this in place he will be able to hear more and then start to say a lot more. Although he will still require makaton signs which he is a little expert at.

He is finally putting on weight and is more interested in food than he ever has been.

Noah has started at a childminders, just to give me some respite and to be able to tidy the house and spend some quality time with Finley. Noah is enjoying himself with the childminder and the other children she looks after, he comes out from hers smiling bless him and I know that he has had a fab time and has really been looked after. He has made a lovely friendship with the little boy she looks after and gets on really well with him.

Finley turned one last month, he has grown up really quickly he is no longer a baby, he is now a little toddler who loves to be tickled, he loves his cars and balls. He copies me when I talk, he's like a little parrot.

Family update

It has been ages since I updated Noah's Blog, its hard to find the time.

My little sister Cate got married last week, Congratulations to Cate and Matt who are now on their honeymoon in New York lucky things.

Noah is getting big and can be a handful sometimes although he still has that cheeky smile and we love him loads.

Wordless Wednesday

Horse Riding

As I have already mentioned we have started to take Noah horse riding. I have compiled a montage of the photo's and video's which we took during the two sessions. He had to wear a hat underneath the riding hat as his head is so small, bless. He doesn't appear to be smiling in the photos but believe me he did enjoy it. I also just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Sophie for arranging it. Thanks Sophie and Noah hopes to see you soon. xx
